Pittsburgh G-20 Archive: Attorney: Info sent to G-20 protesters via Twitter was public
Dugald McConnell, CNN, October 6th, 2009
The attorney for one of two men arrested during last month's G-20 summit for sending Twitter messages to help protesters argues that they were merely passing along public information. The two were relaying to protesters "what routes they might take, where police have said don't go, and things of that nature," said attorney Martin R. Stolar. Noting that police had made the information available on the Internet, Stolar said, "I don't see any way that you can criminalize passing on information that the police have put out publicly."

Text: The RNC "literally look[ed] like Nazi Germany"
D.L. Hughley Breaks the News, CNN, February 28th, 2009
STEELE: Where black people live. I'm just saying, where people, stereotypically or otherwise find us living, we moved from that into something different. And the question is, what do you do with it now that you're here? HUGHLEY: Well, Michael, I agree. I'm telling you, if it were the sign alone -- in other words, the tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome. But when I watch it be applied -- like you didn't have to go much further than the Republican National Convention. [...] It literally look[ed] like Nazi Germany. It literally did. I make that point, not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don't even care what we think. [Read more]
Text: Police deny using excessive force against RNC protesters
Jim Kavanagh, CNN, September 4th, 2008
Authorities in Minnesota's Twin Cities have created "a climate of intense police intimidation," protesters at the Republican National Convention contend, but officials say they're merely preserving the peace.

Video & Audio: CNN footage of protester Leah Lane abused by riot police
CNN, September 4th, 2008
MUST SEE VIDEO. 18-year-old Leah Lane came from Wisconsin to protest the war at the RNC. On the fourth day of the RNC, she refused to obey a dispersal order given by riot police. While clearly not posing any threat to the police, instead of merely arresting Leah, she was repeatedly maced including at point blank range, hit with the tires of police bicycles, and pushed to the ground. Note the two laser sights that cross Lane 13-14 seconds into the footage. [Read more]

Text: Dozens arrested outside of Republican convention
Scott J. Anderson, CNN, September 1st, 2008
At least 56 people were arrested Monday after police fired projectiles and used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse a crowd demonstrating near the site of the Republican National Convention. CNN photojournalists witnessed police detaining between 20 and 30 individuals with plastic handcuffs a few blocks from the security perimeter around the Xcel Center in downtown St. Paul. A crowd of 300 individuals was later seen conducting what appeared to be a sit-in at a parking lot near the Mississippi River. [Read more]
